Fun and Fabulous Heart Card DIY's

I'm here to celebrate Valentine's Day the Flying Unicorn way...with three DIY cards featuring hearts.  As we all know, hearts may be the symbol of Valentine's Day but  hearts are always perfect to use year round.  

Washi Tape Heart Card

This card is bright cheery and happy...and flat for those who really want to stick with flat, easy to mail cards.   This is a washi tape card.   The Flying Unicorn store has a variety of washi tape including gorgeous ginghams,  chevrons, delicate flowers and trendy stripes. 

Supplies:
Julie Nutting Stamp Set : Lots of Love 910488
Heart Punch or Die ( I used Spellbinders D-Lites Vines of Passion)
PreFolded card - 5.5x3.75
Washi Tape  - Flying Unicorns LimeC Checkers washi tape
Washi Tape - Flying Unicorns Pink Meadow
Washi Tape - Flying Unicorns Hot Pink Checkers


Instructions:
This design is meant to be used on a card sized 5.5in x3.75in

Step 1.  Cut a boarder from pink cardstock approx 1/4in smaller than the card.  Glue to card as a mat.
Step 2.  Cut a smaller white rectangle and punch or cut a heart shape  slightly off center.  Leave enough room for a sentiment.

Step 3. Place the rectangle from step 2 down onto the card and trace the heart shape with pencil.  When you remove the white rectangle, you will see the pencil outline from the heart.  This will show you exactly where to place your washi tape strips.  I covered the heart with strips of washi tape: LimeC checkers, Pink Meadow, and Hot Pink Checkers.

Step 4. Glue the top piece in place. 

 Step 5. Stamp your sentiment.  The sentiment is from Julie Nutting Stamp Set : Lots of Love.  These sets are great to use on everyday cards. the punched heart rectangle onto the card.  See how pretty this looks?

Here is a great card set that can be used as a sentiment for the card.  Here is another one, "Sending you warm wishes", how perfect.

Step 6.  As one final step, I used a very fine tip marker and added some faux stitching around the heart and then topped the card with a sweet little ribbon.

This is my second card.  It was made with wonderful Lemoncraft Christmas Wishes collection.  Yes, this is a Christmas collection but you would never know it.  It's a totally versatile collection.
